Man -- I did all of your work for you. I needed one the other day and I called every place in town. United rental is the only place that has them -- both the one in Olathe and the one in Martin City. $22/hr - 2hr min.

It is the trench master -- I love that machine -- it works like a pro!

In my opinion nothing is good for putting down plastic edging -- I hate that stuff. But -- I suppose it would work. I have used it before when putting down steel edging -- but am not sure how much time it actually saves. Usually pretty easy to dig in with just a good sharp spade.
